Noah Kagan Presents

From 22 to 26 I was working day jobs. I worked at Intel, then at Facebook, and finally at Mint.

I had some cool experiences, but overall I was mostly unhappy because I wanted to start my own business, sooooo…. I kept getting fired or quitting early.

If I could go back in time I would do things a little differently... I hope this will help give you some clarity on your entrepreneurial journey.
